Marylebone

Marylebone lies north of Oxford Street and South of Regents Park. Edgware Road forms the western boundary. Portland Place and Langham Place form the eastern boundary. The nicest streets are probably Marylebone Lane and Marylebone High Street , being awash with great little shops and some nice gastropubs. As far as transport is concerned, there is a choice of buses to all parts of London and 4 tube stations namely: Baker Street , Marylebone BR, Bond Street and Marble Arch.

Marylebone is both a village and a city. It did not become part of London until well on in the 18th Century. For hundreds of years it held a modest place in the minds of Londoners as a pretty village lying amid fields on the way to Primrose Hill. A village with a parish church, and a manor which had been in earlier times a royal palace with a hunting lodge, and a park which became a pleasure garden - Marylebone Gardens - by early 18th Century. Its transformation came in the late Georgian and Regency years and a new image was born.

Twenty first century Marylebone is a sprawling place. The areas looks like it might be mainly residential, and while this may be partly true there is plenty of stuff going on to excite the visitor. The most well-know section lies between Selfridges and in the south and Madam Tussaud's in the north offering a wonderful place to wander on the busiest days. You'll find great shops, nice pubs and restaurants!
